| Kasumi | I suppose this is practically established for us by now, but shall we start with our meeting for the next “Spotlight” special feature? |
| I know this is still work for us both, but I always do enjoy our time chatting like this each time. |
| Izumi | Ahaha, I feel the same. |
| Oh, and if you’d like, please have some of these sweets. They’re from Itaru-san and Chikage-san. |
| Kasumi | Oh, what cute packaging! Those two have quite the taste. |
| Izumi | Their company distributed these to them, apparently. So they were hoping to have everyone try them out. |
| Kasumi | Thank you. Let’s have them while having our discussion, shall we? |
| Izumi | So then. What should we do about the next special feature? |
| Kasumi | I’ve been thinking about that myself. I’ve been wondering what kind of pairings would be good, but nothing has been coming to my mind at all… Hrm… |
| *GRUMBLE* |
| S-Sorry! That was my stomach—— |
| Kasumi | …I may as well partake in these sweets right away. |
| Izumi | Ahaha, go ahead! |
| Kasumi | Thank you very much! …Mmm~~! These are good…!! |
| Izumi | (Fufu, his expression almost looks like he’s stuffing his cheeks.) |
| Kasumi | That reminds me… Those two work in the same company, right? Itaru-kun and Chikage-kun, I mean. |
| Izumi | That’s right. Just your regular, hardworking trading company employees. |
| Kasumi | I see. It’s admirable that they manage to work as both actors and as salarymen at the same time. |
| Izumi | (That’s true… It’s almost natural for me to see them go about their everyday lives by now, but now that I think about it again, it’s really amazing of them…) |
| …Ah. |
| For the “Spotlight” theme, why don’t we go with “side-jobs” this time? |
| MANKAI Company has plenty of members who work in other fields besides acting. We have Tsuzuru-kun as our scriptwriter and Yuki-kun as our costume designer, just to name a few. |
| Kasumi | That’s perfect! What a brilliant idea! |
| In that case, who should we list down for the feature… |
| Izumi | (Actually, thinking about it, I’m pretty sure Itaru-san and Chikage-san had met before getting into the troupe. Same goes for Tsuzuru-kun and Kazunari-kun.) |
| (Our costume designer Yuki-kun has Taichi-kun as his assistant, but apparently those two have known each other before, back when they were kids— But it seems neither of them have realized it themselves…) |
| (——That’s it!) |
| …Then how about we go with these pairs? |
